I just downloaded wget 1.8.1 after trying 1.5.3. The feature I was looking
for (get a page with its images) had been added - thanks.
I was trying to get a site which uses external style sheets.
The style sheet itself was retrieved correctly, but a background image was
not.
e.g.
BODY { background-image: url(marble.gif) }
BODY { background: red url(pendant.gif); }
UL { list-style: url(http://png.com/ellipse.png) disc }
UL { list-style-image: url(http://png.com/ellipse.png) }
as per

I imagine that wget also ignores import commands in CSS, e.g.
@import url(http://style.com/basic);
as per
http://www.westciv.com/style_master/academy/the_specification/basic_concepts.html#Inheritance
but my browser does too ....
I guess there are a lot of other languages where wget would fail to detect
or traverse URLs, e.g. PDF, JavaScript, VRML, Flash etc. but I just
happened to notice this one because it affected the look of a single web
page. I realized I wasn't serving the CSS file with the proper MIME type
but it still didn't work after I fixed that.
